Unspecified anomaly of jaw size

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

An unspecified abnormality in the size of the upper or lower jaw that affects the alignment or appearance of the face.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a catch-all code; review documentation carefully to determine if a more specific jaw size anomaly code (M26.01-M26.09) applies
  • •Distinguish between maxillary (upper jaw) and mandibular (lower jaw) abnormalities when possible
